FCAI NISE Fellow Hari Srinivasan Pens Second Op-Ed for Time Magazine
FCAI NISE Fellow Hari Srinivasan Pens Second Op-Ed for Time Magazine
Posted by stasikjs on Friday, January 5, 2024 in FCAI News.
On January 3rd, 2024, Frist Center for Autism and Innovation Neurodiversity Inspired Science and Engineering Fellow Hari Srinivasan published his second article in Time magazine, entitled “The Pervasive Loneliness of Autism”.
In this thought-provoking article, Srinivasan discusses how the epidemic of loneliness disproportionally effects the autistic population, and is only exacerbated by U.S. notions of independent living being the ideal.
Well done Hari, for another amazing piece of work!

The Loneliness Epidemic
https://time.com/6551520/loneliness-autism-essay/
My latest article in Time drew inspiration from a Keynote by US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy at the fall PD Soros conference. Dr Murthy has highlighted the growing Loneliness Epidemic in the United States. This got me thinking about loneliness in another overlooked population - the disability community, especially autism.

The Forgotton People on Planet X
A blog post written by me many years back in early teens....
Consider:- Once upon a time, we were all babies. Our life track was defined - preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, college, job etc. ....Some of those babies however, ended up on a path that wandered off into disability..... biologically, the bodies kept growing and voila, they became Teens with Disabilities!....

Winter Solstice
The winter solstice is an astronomical event that occurs annually around December 21st or 22nd in the northern hemisphere and around June 20th or 21st in the southern hemisphere. It marks the shortest day and longest night of the year.
It occurs when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun. In the northern hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted directly away from the sun, resulting in the lowest position of the sun in the sky and shorter daylight hours. Conversely, in the southern hemisphere, the South Pole is tilted directly towards the sun, leading to longer days and shorter nights.
During the winter solstice, the sun reaches its lowest point in the sky at noon, and the length of daylight is at its minimum. This phenomenon occurs because of the Earth's axial tilt, which causes variations in the amount of sunlight received by each hemisphere throughout the year.
The winter solstice tends to be more significant in non-equatorial regions because the changes in day length and sunlight are more noticeable. In these regions, the winter solstice marks the turning point of the seasons, with colder temperatures and shorter days leading up to it. Culturally, this transition has been associated with themes of rebirth, renewal, light, and the hope for the return of warmth and longer days.
